[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you help him reach his goal? He is a math fanatic and wants to study physics in college. He got a nearly perfect score on both the SAT and ACT. This is a kid who spends his free time watching science videos or spending hours upon hours escaping into his own world of thinking about the universe/space. Does he need to do certain activities? Should he attend certain schools? His goal is NASA or conducting research. Thanks for any guidance. [/quote] That was my goal 20 years ago!! Then after my PhD I got a research position at NASA. I worked there for 6 months and moved to oil and gas. Even back then they paid twice as much for nearly the same type of work. I think I make more than twice my experience level at NASA even now - and I have a ton more in savings, sent my kids to nice private schools, have a ski and beach condo, etc. NASA is just a brand, like Exxon, but doesn't offer anything tangible, like energy.[/quote]
